True, to be fair the shipyard in Halifax essentially didn't exist up until about 10 years ago, when the Irving's won contract to essentially rebuild the entire Canadian naval fleet over the next 20-30 years. It's crazy what they have built on the Halifax waterfront. So essentially they currently only have one customer for this particular shipbuilding plant, but they do have other shipbuilding plants.
